TITLE : reshape

The title ”reshape” marks the possibility to change the appearance of a building by projecting images on it. The moving images can virtually reshape the forms by using light, in this case projectors. The projection can transform the way we see the bulding, it can change the way we experience the shape of the architecture, bringing new interpretations and new context. As light can modulate space, the projection shapes the building. And to increase the experience I created audio-reactive animations, in order to trigger both senses of the audience: auditive and visual, at the same time.

TITLE : Eudaimonia

In this world we are all linked, every action has a reaction. Every human being, plant, or object serves a purpose, and we all depend and influence each other in invisible ways. “Eudaimonia” is happiness, but not the kind obtained by avoiding suffering and seeking pleasure, but rather the one that comes from consciously trying to be better each day. The sense of joy that comes from living life with a “good spirit”, by working daily on doing our best, no matter the circumstances, leading us to the highest and most lasting form of personal and collective happiness.
With this theme, we tried to imagine how our invisible connections could look like, a complex puzzle of mechanisms and dominoes. We tried to visualize how a good action can spark a mesmerizing chain reaction of positive consequences, how happiness can be contagious and change the colors of the world. We try to materialize gardens of joy and the shapes of the future that humans could build together for a greater good.
